Product details
Overview
MAX8559ETAJJ+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator delivering two independent 2.85V outputs at up to 300mA each, operating from 2.5V–6.5V input. It features 32µVRMS output noise, 70dB PSRR at 10kHz, and 60mV dropout at 100mA load-designed for space-constrained, battery-powered systems requiring clean, stable dual-rail power.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8559ETAJJ+ datasheet, MAX8559ETAJJ+ pinout, MAX8559ETAJJ+ application, or MAX8559ETAJJ+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual independent shutdown control, ultra-low quiescent current (115µA per LDO), factory-preset 2.85V/2.85V outputs, TDFN-EP package thermal performance, and bypass-capacitor-free operation capability.
Technical Context
The MAX8559ETAJJ+ integrates two independent P-channel MOSFET pass transistors (RDS(ON) ≈ 0.6Ω) with internal 1.25V bandgap reference and error amplifiers. Each LDO uses an internal resistor divider to set its 2.85V output, eliminating external feedback components.
It implements independent logic-controlled shutdown (SHDNA/SHDNB), thermal shutdown at +160°C with 10°C hysteresis, and output discharge via 385Ω internal resistors during shutdown-enabling precise power sequencing and rail isolation in portable electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.85V / 2.85V (factory-preset, no external resistors required) |
| Max Output Current | 300mA per channel-supports dual-core processors or RF + baseband rails |
| Dropout Voltage | 60mV at 100mA-enables >98% efficiency at light loads and extends battery runtime |
| Output Noise | 32µVRMS (100Hz–100kHz)-meets stringent analog/RF supply requirements without added filtering |
| PSRR | 70dB at 10kHz-rejects switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters |
| Quiescent Current | 115µA per LDO (no load)-minimizes standby power in always-on subsystems |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6.5V-compatible with single Li-ion, Li-poly, or regulated 3.3V/5V supplies |
Pinout & Package
MAX8559ETAJJ+ is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height) with exposed paddle for thermal dissipation. The package supports 1.95W power dissipation and requires soldering the exposed pad to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 INA | LDO A Input | Shared input rail for both regulators; must be bypassed with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor |
| 2 SHDNA | LDO A Shutdown Control | Logic-low disables OUTA; high-Z or tied to INA for always-on operation |
| 3 SHDNB | LDO B Shutdown Control | Logic-low disables OUTB; independent of SHDNA for flexible power sequencing |
| 4 INB | LDO B Input | Internally connected to INA; redundant pin for layout flexibility |
| 5 OUTB | LDO B Output | 2.85V regulated output; internally discharged to GND via 385Ω in shutdown |
| 6 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry |
| 7 BP | Noise Bypass Terminal | Accepts 0.01µF ceramic capacitor to reduce output noise by filtering reference path |
| 8 OUTA | LDO A Output | 2.85V regulated output; identical specs and discharge behavior as OUTB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent shutdown | Enables selective powering of subsystems (e.g., keep RF active while disabling baseband) |
| No-bypass-capacitor operation | Reduces BOM count and board area-valid for applications where noise <254µVRMS is acceptable |
| Internal 385Ω output discharge | Prevents floating outputs and ensures fast, controlled rail collapse during shutdown |
| P-channel MOSFET pass devices | Eliminates base-drive current loss-delivers lower dropout than PNP-based LDOs at all load levels |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | +160°C trip point with 10°C recovery margin prevents oscillation under sustained overload |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A20285PDBVR | Single 2.85V LDO (300mA), not dual; 16µVRMS noise, 65dB PSRR at 10kHz | Requires two devices for dual-rail use-increases board area and BOM cost | Select when only one rail is needed or when lower noise is prioritized over integration |
| ADP151AUJZ-2.85-R7 | Single 2.85V LDO (200mA), not dual; 9µVRMS noise, 70dB PSRR at 10kHz | Limited to 200mA per rail-insufficient for 300mA digital loads | Select for ultra-low-noise single-rail applications where current demand ≤200mA |
Compared with TPS7A20285PDBVR and ADP151AUJZ-2.85-R7, the MAX8559ETAJJ+ uniquely delivers dual 300mA 2.85V outputs in one 3mm×3mm TDFN package with independent shutdown-reducing component count, PCB area, and system-level power sequencing complexity.

FAQ
What output voltages does the MAX8559ETAJJ+ provide?
The MAX8559ETAJJ+ provides two fixed 2.85V outputs-VOUTA = 2.85V and VOUTB = 2.85V-as indicated by the "JJ" suffix in the part number per Maxim's Output Voltage Selector Guide. These values are factory-trimmed and require no external resistors, ensuring ±3% accuracy across -40°C to +85°C.
Does the MAX8559ETAJJ+ require an external bypass capacitor on the BP pin?
Yes-the MAX8559ETAJJ+ achieves its specified 32µVRMS output noise only when a 0.01µF low-leakage ceramic capacitor is placed between BP and GND. Omitting this capacitor increases output noise to 254µVRMS, though the device remains functional for less noise-sensitive applications.
Can the MAX8559ETAJJ+ operate without output capacitors?
No-the MAX8559ETAJJ+ requires minimum 2.2µF ceramic output capacitance per rail for stability. For 300mA loads, Maxim specifies ≥4.7µF. Operating without output capacitors risks oscillation, poor transient response, and potential damage due to instability.
What is the thermal performance difference between the UCSP and TDFN packages of the MAX8559ETAJJ+?
The MAX8559ETAJJ+ is only offered in the TDFN-EP package (not UCSP). Its exposed paddle enables 1951mW max power dissipation at +70°C ambient, with 24.4mW/°C derating above that temperature-significantly higher than the UCSP variant's 379mW limit-making it suitable for higher-power dual-rail applications.
How does the MAX8559ETAJJ+ handle short-circuit conditions?
The MAX8559ETAJJ+ incorporates independent current limiting per output, tripping at ≥310mA (min). During a sustained short, it enters constant-current foldback mode while maintaining thermal shutdown protection-allowing indefinite safe operation without damage, unlike unguarded LDOs.
